   1 log.abbrevCommit::
   2         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
   3         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
   4         override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
   5
   6 log.date::
   7         Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
   8         Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
   9         `--date` option.  See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
  10
  11 log.decorate::
  12         Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
  13         command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
  14         'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
  15         specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
  16         If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
  17         the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
  18         names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
  19         of the `git log`.
  20
  21 log.excludeDecoration::
  22         Exclude the specified patterns from the log decorations. This is
  23         similar to the `--decorate-refs-exclude` command-line option, but
  24         the config option can be overridden by the `--decorate-refs`
  25         option.
  26
  27 log.follow::
  28         If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
  29         a single <path> is given.  This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
  30         i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
  31         on non-linear history.
  32
  33 log.graphColors::
  34         A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
  35         history lines in `git log --graph`.
  36
  37 log.showRoot::
  38         If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
  39         This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
  40         Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
  41         normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
  42
  43 log.showSignature::
  44         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  45         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
  46
  47 log.mailmap::
  48         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  49         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
  50         assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
